I am moving on because we are pressured for time but I wanted that point on the record. One has to have confidence in the chairman of an organisation. Mr. Meaney did not know the Act. That is a fundamental issue.

I read the transcript of the evidence Mr. Walsh gave to this committee. He said that at the height of the recession, attendance figures dropped. He tried to manage that. He then said there was an increase of between 4% and 5% in attendance in 2015 compared to 2014 . Is that correct?
